Acute pancreatitis following SARS-CoV-2 infection: A case report.
Article in SAGE open medical case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) which is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 was first reported from Wuhan, China in December 2019. Since then, it has caused global crisis and it still continues to be a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. Although it primarily involves respiratory system with symptoms ranging from mild to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome, extrapulmonary involvement including gastrointestinal manifestations is increasingly reported. There are few reported cases of acute pancreatitis following severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 infection; however, little is known on true prevalence of acute pancreatitis or other extrapulmonary manifestations. More data and research on pathophysiology and organ-specific extrapulmonary manifestations would aid clinicians to monitor and recognise these wide spectra of manifestations so that organ-specific therapeutic strategies and management pathways could be developed. We report a case of acute pancreatitis in an otherwise asymptomatic severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 infection. He developed acute upper abdominal pain on day 13th of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 infection detection. Diagnosis of acute pancreatitis was made after his serum amylase level was raised by more than five times the normal and the computed tomography abdomen showed oedematous pancreas. He was successfully managed and discharged after 12 days of diagnosis of acute pancreatitis. On follow-up after 1 year, there were no recurrent attacks of pancreatitis. Our case highlights that acute pancreatitis can occur even in asymptomatic and milder form of COVID-19 and the onset of such complications could be delayed. Abdominal pain in COVID-19 should be carefully assessed because prompt diagnosis and management of acute pancreatitis in COVID-19 patient is crucial in preventing multi-organ dysfunction leading to subsequent morbidity and mortality.
